coupleconflict visual 1.jpeg

This photo shows a young couple in a conflict. I chose this picture because to me it shows a young man who seems reluctant to speak and the apparent frustration on his

significant other's face. The man is reading a book instead of talking about the issues at hand. This photo came from this website:

apathy visual element 2.jpg
This is a sign against apathy. I chose this picture because it describes how truly dangerous apathy can be. Although this sign is describing more of a broad sense of apathy, I believe that it can also apply to one's own life. If a person just does not care about anything, then how can they lead a meaningful life? What would be the point of living? This photo came from:

fragile.htm.jpg I chose this popular sign in order to indicate the fragility of love that is so evident in this novel. Such is applicable to the emotion of love itself as well as those couples involved. Love itself is very flighty, most notably exemplified in “The End of Something” and the manner in which Nick and Majorie’s relationship ends.. With respect to individuals in love, it often puts them in a very unstable condition, such as the Indian man who committed suicide in “Indian Camp” during his child’s birth, a generally momentous occasion associated with overwhelming happiness.

Open-ended Question: Is love’s fragility emphasized in order to discredit relationships or in order to encourage independence?
